<jnthn> Using two of the month's new features together :P
<masak> that's pretty impressive.
<jnthn> Sadly, fixing the double evaluation exposes a bug.

<masak> "the double evaluation"?
<jnthn> masak: It evalutes the macro argument twice.
<jnthn> masak: Because I wrote it that way
<masak> oh!
<masak> (phew)
<jnthn> {{{$_}}} > 0 ?? {{{$_}}} !! ...
<masak> yes, each {{{}}} evaluates once.
<jnthn> And I wanted to just do it once, but when I try to stick it in a
temporary variable, it busts.
<masak> as above. I see.
<masak> maybe declaring variables in quasis doesn't work?
<jnthn> Seems so
